"And you're going to take your scissors and open"
Top Chef
"your re-thermostabilizing packet of sweet potato slaw,"
Top Chef
"and you're just going to scoop that into the little tin."
Top Chef
"So, I was just trying to evoke the spirit of being in space."
Top Chef
"Nick, tell us about your dish."
Top Chef
"So, I created this Mississippi gumbo"
Top Chef
"and I have it on my menu at the Civil Rights Museum."
Top Chef
"It's collard greens, butter beans, black eyed peas."

Top Chef
"[laughter]"
Top Chef
"-I mean, she's so on brand here! -[all laugh]"
Top Chef
"With the can and the scissors."
Top Chef
"I do think that was almost too much"
Top Chef
"of a focus on presentation."
Top Chef
"And then we lacked a bit on the flavor."
Top Chef
"The tuna was a very big piece and it was very bland."
Top Chef
"If you're gonna poach tuna, you've gotta cook it"
Top Chef
"-all the way through. -If she would have butchered it"
Top Chef
"in a little bit smaller cubes,"
Top Chef
"the flavors of the pickling liquid"
Top Chef
"would have gone in and it would have been even more flavorful."
Top Chef
"-I have no idea what they think. -I know."
Top Chef
"What did you think of the gumbo that Nick gave us?"
Top Chef
"There's a famous Nina Simone song called,"
Top Chef
""Mississippi Goddam," and that's really what I feel."
Top Chef
"It is super flavorful, not spicy."
Top Chef
"You can tell that Nick has cooked this many, many times."
